I was a bit surprised that 9/11 was the main attack.

Yeah the thing that got me was how localized that fear become for everyone as well. Even though I was in Brandon, MB many people were convinced "it could happen here" despite the fact that a small Manitoba city would be very low on a list of targets people were still convinced of the risk of going to the mall on certain days because they had heard "all malls are going to be bombed next".
I remember saying to more than 1 person "look, we live in Brandon, Manitoba, this isn't New York, Toronto or Vancouver, nobody is targeting our small city"
